• There seem to be some similarities between this syndrome and Pathological Demand Avoidance, in that they are manipulative, and believe that he/she is beyond society's laws and norms. People with PDA appear to undertake malicious acts for no apparent reason. See:

The last website is titled "Malice and Asperger's Syndrome", written by Digby Tantam. However, it states that people with the form of Asperger's that is apparently related to malicious actions is different to the normal type. The National Autism Society (NAS) in the UK holds the view that the Asperger's refered to by Mr. Tantam is not aspergers, but is Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome, which is not aspergers, but does fall on the autistic spectrum.--80.47.203.53 01:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Older women

Someone wrote in the article that "teenagers like older women". Does this "syndrome" only affect straight males and lesbian females? A.Z. 02:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm also curious about that. This article sounds unusually stereotypical. I think it is in dire need of editing to be accurate. Eddietoran 15:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Removing some Wikipedia activism not reflected in any of the source material

Let me start of by trying to preempt some personal attacks. I know that's not as necessary on Wikipedia as it is on other parts of the internet, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm not transage. I'm not transgender either. I don't particularly care whether transageism is valid or real or whatever. Thinking that transageism is as "real" (whatever that means) as transgenderism is a very unpopular opinion. If I had an opinion one way or the other, than I guess I'd probably go with whatever the popular opinion is, which in this case would be transgenderism is valid and transageism is not valid or it's a mental disorder or something. I don't care. I'm just trying to fix some unsourced editing which may or may not have been done for the purpose of activism. Here's what I saw, and here's what I changed. When I read this page, it said "the concept is falsely modelled on transgenderism". This seemed like suspicious wording to me, and what I found in the logs confirmed my suspicion. It used to say "the concept is modelled on transgenderism". An IP poster with no other edits added the word falsely. I'm not going to speculate on why they did this, but I think most of you probably have a guess. I doubt the word falsely is in the source. To me, saying that it's "falsely modelled on transgenderism" doesn't even make sense. I've never heard of anything being falsely modelled on something else before. Just because A is modelled on B doesn't mean that B's validity also applies to A. I think I know what the IP poster meant. But it's an unsourced claim. If someone thinks it's important enough to add to the article that transageism isn't considered to be valid in the way that transgender is valid, then... do the legwork, find your sources, and campaign for that section to be added. I'm taking out the word falsely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benevolent Prawn (talk • contribs) 06:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
